Behringer‑Crawford Museum (BCM) is proud to kick off Northern Kentucky Regional History Weekend with an exclusive behind‑the‑scenes tour of its newest exhibit, Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard, on Saturday, May 17, from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. The tour will be led by Jason French, BCM’s Curator of Collections, who will offer insights into the life and legacy of this remarkable Kentuckian.
 
Driftwood explores the art and philosophy of Harlan Hubbard, a Kentucky-born artist, writer and early advocate for sustainable living. Known for his unconventional lifestyle along the Ohio River, Hubbard captured the beauty of simple living through his paintings, journals and handcrafted artifacts. The exhibit was created in partnership with Jessica K. Whitehead, curator at the Kentucky Derby Museum and author of Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard.

This special guided tour will give visitors a deeper understanding of Hubbard’s work and the ideals that shaped his life. French will share behind-the-scenes stories and answer questions, making this a unique opportunity for fans of local art, history and conservation.
